24. September, 2003 - Twins clinch!
- Twins triumph after an uncertain season, winning the AL Central. I probably won’t manage to make it to any of the playoff games, but it’s nice to know they’ll be happening.
- Today’s Doctor Fun made me laugh. No more work-unsafe than some of my comments here. The biggest danger is that you might feel compelled to print it out and hang it on your cube-wall.
- Jury convicts man in DMCA case. He was selling cards that could decrypt DirecTV broadcasts, which was probably a pretty good case from the prosecution’s point of view. [scripting]
- Police unleash new tactics against underage drinking and one first-year student says
If they’re going to keep busting us, it’s going to be hard to make ends meet.
Well, maybe I’m just turning into Mr. Wilson, but it seems to me that if the fine for underage drinking ($130) is too steep for you to pay, maybe you could, oh, I dunno, stop breaking the law. Or at a minimum, quit being an asshole while you’re underage and drunk, so the cops won’t have an excuse to pull you in. Stumbling through the neighborhood at 3am yelling “Woo!” at the top of your lungs so you wake up all the people who are trying to sleep is not a good way to keep a low profile about your lawlessness.
- …and in fire updates: U groups raise money for fire victims, but the Daily doesn’t list the address to send your money to, and I couldn’t find it online this morning. Eischens will finish inspections Wednesday, double-checking the smoke-detectors in all the houses they rent out. City details dozens of complaints at Eischens properties, basically saying that while they aren’t great landlords, they’re not the worst. That fits in with what I know, but I’d say they’re closer to worst than best. Tenant describes raging fire that killed U students.
